tanarillI have sadly neglected you, the people who follow my journal. This is bad, because wonderful Things have happened.
1. It is no longer That Holiday. It is, in fact, the eleventh day of the Omer, which is one week and four days into the Omer.
2. My schedule has worked out such that I get to go home on all the weekends. Last weekend, it was kind of drizzly Friday like we get only rarely in California, and then it cleared up a little, and I saw a rainbow. :D
3. Today, I was given a plant. The internets told me that the greenhouses (which apparently we have) were doing an open-house. So I went, and got a tour of their rare orchids, and on the way out they gave me a plant. I was going to refuse, being as I kill plants, but the options were cacti, which survive without water, and milkweed, which has weed in the name. I took the milkweed, because butterflies.
4. I went to a seminar. I shall not explain, save to say that it's a new approach to drug design. A wild and crazy wacko approach, but one which seems to get previously-impossible results. So there is that.
5. The one about the AIDS. I'll explain later.
6. Bees! On lupins!
. . . And many other interesting biogeek Things.
ONWARDS!

I'm looking forwards to the AIDS seminar! I did an undergrad paper on the social history of AIDS, so I'm always interested in the new advancements.
